How do you pronounce Sufjan Stevens?

I have heard it the first way, I believe. I even saw him in a movie, and his friends said his name many times, but I can’t recall the proper pronunciation. Darn.

I tend to accidentally say Suff-yan. If only that was correct!

Wow, that was incredibly un-helpful. Apologies.

you Google people annoy me.
I obviously know of Google
I obviously know how to use Google.
Did it ever occur to you that maybe I wanted to find out how people think its pronounced rather than how it actually is?
Sheesh….

It would have occurred to me if you had asked “How would you pronounce Sufjan Stevens if you didn’t know the correct way?” But you didn’t. So I answered.

Actually, I read his question as ‘How do You pronounce Sufjan Stevens?’ as opposed to ‘How is Sufjan Stevens pronounced?’ Hence him asking other people instead of a computer.

Anyways – I heard from a friend of mine that its pronounced Soo-fahn so thats what i’ve stuck with. and even if i’m pronouncing it wrong, my friends & i all know who i’m talking about – i dont think i know anyone with a name even remotely similar.

PS. @likeradar – your link isn’t working for me
EDIT – Now it is. crazy internets!

I know it’s not correct, but I stlll say suff-jin.

I’ve always pronounced if Suf-jun. Apparently, I was wrong.

Heeheehee! That site @Likeradar linked to can pronounce my name!

@patg7590: Did it ever occur to you to not act like a brat?

I’ve always said Suff-yan. I’m not too worried about it though, considering I don’t really talk about the dude in casual conversation or anything.

It’s Suf-yan. I’m a die-hard fan
